Reflections on radio history and podcasting

I published some thoughts I’ve been ruminating on for several weeks now over at TechLearning, in a new post I titled “What are you going to do?” This relates to several different ideas, including:

• The centennial of the first radio broadcast (Christmas Eve, 1906)
• Podcasting/narrowcasting as a renaissance of radio
• The novelty and power of global audio-based idea sharing
• The impact of Time magazine’s person of the year for each one of us

We live in exciting times with exciting potential. The question is, what are we going to do with these powerful tools at our (and our students’) disposal?

The sad note here is that my drawing skills have not advanced much beyond the first grade level. Oh well. In drawings like this one, communication is certainly my goal, rather than impressing an audience with my artistic skills!
